from Marblehead MA, had his first ever football game today at Danvers Highschool. Although I am a Danvers girl, through and through, I was thrilled for Tad that his Marblehead team beat Danvers. Go Tad...#64 in Black.

I spent the Labor Day weekend in Freeport Maine, visiting my friend's Nancy and Mark at their Bed & Breakfast, The Kendall Tavern Inn.

Built in the early 1800’s The Kendall Tavern Inn has been welcoming travelers on and off for almost 200 years.

Down in the basement is where the Tavern was.

Here are some photos of what is left.

This is an antique Shur-Stop fire extinguisher grenade.

Between 1900 and 1920 fire grenades resembled light bulbs could be purchased with a special bracket. The bracket had a spring devise and a fusible link. When the fusible link melted, the spring would cause the metal arm to shatter the grenade and release its contents into the fire and extinguish the fire.

You often see these over old boilers or up in the attics of old homes.
